The revenue cutter Cor win, which was due last Saturday, arrived at the entrance to the harbor yesterday morning at 11 o'clock. She did not enter, but lay to off Fort Point long enough to aend a boat ashore with dispatches. A re porter in a boat met the cutter off tho fort and attempted to board her, but waa repulsed. His inquiries as to how things were going on at Honolulu were unanswered. Ail bands had evidently received injunctions to silence on that point, and not a word con Id be gotten out of anybody. The only hint of news at first waa given by one of the crew, who said, over the aide to the reporter: "There is a big row on down in Honolulu. Afterward, in answer to ft question, Captain Mu offer yelled back: "The queen had not been put back on the throne when we left, but ahe may bo there now, all the same." CORBE8FOHDENCE FROM WILLI A. tome Important Documents Which Have Mot Hitherto Been Published. Washington, Jan. 8. There waa Issued from the government printing office yesterday the special message of I the president on Hawaii and the ac companying correspondence which the senate has asked for by resolu tion. In the printed copies are some report from Minister Willis, which have not heretofore been published . and which are of special interest at this time. Under data of November 11, from Bonolulu, Minister Willis announces to Secretary Gresham tho presenta tion of his letter accrediting him as Mr. Blount's successor. The document i then continues: "On the afternoon of the th tho British minister, Major Wodehouse, called my attention to the following paragraph in tho Hawallaa Star of the aamo date: 'It wonld serve the ex-queen well to pray to her gods that the peril of restoration win never come to ner, which ha interpre ted to be ft threat of assassination, and inquired whether our government was ready and willing to extend to her its protection. I replied without reference to her royal claims, she stood in such relations to tho United States that she was entitled to and would re ceive the amplest protection at our hands. As a matter of fact, I had already ascertained that, at nresent, she did not desire our protection. After next . Monday, however, and earlier if necessary, I ahall insist on her coming to the legation. "Neither aide has the vaguest idea as yet of the attitude of our govern ment and consequently no outbreak has occurred, although every night is filled with rumors. The United States ships Philadelphia and Adams are connected with Honolulu by telephone, but in the event of riot Admiral Irwin, now in command, has made arrange ments for rocket signaling. On Mon day I will, by request, meet a com mittee of the American league, which, one who claimed to be a member, in formed me was 600 strong armed with Winchester rifles and would never per mit the restoration of the queen. He further intimated theleague had some fear the provisional government "would make concessions and surren der their rights, and if so they would never throw it," etc. There is undoubtedly in this gov ernment, as in all governments, a class of reckless, lawless men who, under the impression they have the moral support of some of the better class of citizens, may at any moment bring about a serious condition of af fairs. Fortunately the leaders of tho provisional government are acknowl edged by all sides to be of the highest integrity and public spirit, which, combined with the large material in terests they represent will, it is hoped, cause them to stand firmly and suc cessfully for peace and good govern ment a The Japanese consul general has I ust called to say his people, who num ier nearly one-third of the male pop ulation, are very apprehensive of im mediate disturbances. He desired to know whether I would advise him to send for a man of war. I declined to give him any advice. He then in auired whether his teorle could ex pect any protection from the United States troops. I told him if it was his request, and that if his people were non-participants in the trouble that he could probably rely on the protection ol our government. American inter ests here are so extensive and all in terests are so close that it is impos sible to touch one without involving all. With sentiments of high regard. 1 am, etc. Ai.iikrt S.

Loxdo, Jan. 8. Intense excite ment has been caused here by reports of a battle between French and Brit ish troops on tho frontiers ' of Sierra Leone, on the northwest coast of Africa. Particulars of the engagement re ceived to-day are that a British forco numbering about 600 native troops, sent against the Mofas, was encamped near Warina, in the sphere of British influence, when, shortly before day light, December 23, during a bright moonlight, they wero attacked with out warning by thirty Senegalese sharpshooters, supported by 200 na tive French auxiliaries under Lieuten ant Moritz of the French regular army. The French opened tire upon the British, who replied. After the fighting had continued for some time the French retired and Lieutenant Moritz, who had been wounded, was captured by the British and brought into camp. Upon being questioned as to his reason for opening fire upon the Brit ish troops, Lieutenant Moritz declared that he mistook the British force for a forco of Sofas under European officer and Arab leaders. It is now said that this statement of the French officer makes it perfectly clear that a mis take was made by tho French and that no responsibility attaches to Uritisn officers. In spite of assistance promptly ren dered to him ho died of his wounds. Ten of the isenetralese sharDshooters were killed and of the frontier police which accompanied the expedition in addition to Inspector General- Lendy two were killed and three seriously wounded. rine liritisn force, it is added, remains at Warina. The colonial office announces that the affair will be made the subject of a stringent inquiry so soon as the full details of the affair are received from the governor of Sierra Leone.

Omaha, Neb., Jan. '. On marble slabs at the city morgue lie tho charred remains of the family of John Cnmminga, Father, mother, baby and grandmother are there, awaiting the outcome of the coroner's inquiry into the can sea of the tragedy that startled the city yesterday morning. Nothing in Nebraska annala ap proaches the deed for horror. Cnmminga had been in ill health for some time, and according to 13-year-old Tommio Fox, who was present, he de liberately set fire to his own honse and caused the death of his mother-in-law, bis wife and his 1-year-old baby in the flames. The little boy tells a straightforward story, and when asked how the fire originated, he said: "Cummin gs was sitting ou the edge of the bed in tho rear room where Mrs. Cnmmings also waa with tho baby. Another person in the room was Mrs. Fox, the mother of Mrs. Cummings, my aunt There was a fuss about something, and Cnmmings upset the lamp and closed the door, compelling all the inmates to stay there. They cried, but be refused to let any of them out" Miss Nellie Fox, who is a relative of Mra Cnmmings, said that she was a frequent visitor to the house; that Cumraings had been sick for a long time. She disputed her brother's statement about Cummings having purposely knocked down the lamp to burn tho entire family, but the boy re joined that he saw him do it Ho added that when he first took notice he saw Cummings sitting on the bed crying. SENATOR TELLER TALKS. ays the Outlook for Colored Is Very Bad Deaoonees Gov. Walt. Denver, CoL, Jan J Senator Teller returned yesterday from a brief visit to Mexico, In an inter view last night bo said tho outlook for Colorado waa very gloomy and in his opinion would not change ao long as the present administration should bo in power. lie will bo satisfied, however, that the condition of the poor and tho finances were much bet ter in Colorado than in any of tho Eastern states. - The senator denounced the extra session scheme of Governor Waito as one of tho worst things that could have happened to Colorado. While In Mexico he talked with several officials regarding Gov ernor Waite'a proposition to circulate Mexican dollars in Colo rado as legal tender. They all made much sport of the proposition and de clared it will not be feasible. Be did not mention it to President Diaz as he was ashamed to do so. Mr. Teller believes that tho United States might profitably imitate the financial policy of Mexico, which is now the most prosperous country on the western continent He looks for no favorable silver legislation but be lieves that President Cleveland would change his silver policy at onoe should Great Britain see tier way clearly to adopt a double standard.
